The Peter Cole cold-molded scow design was the top dog in the Australian Moth class in the 1960's (before wings). It was superseded by the double-chine, plywood Imperium design. Here is a dxf file of the Cole Super Moth (he pushed the centerline hollow very hard on this Super Moth). This design would make a good wood strip project for someone who wants a round-bilge scow Moth. Dimensions in the dxf file are in meters.
Station spacing is:
- Station 1 - 76 mm.
- Station 2 - 304 mm.
- Station 3 - 608 mm.
- Station 4 - 912 mm.
- Station 5 - 1216 mm.
- Station 6 - 1520 mm.
- Station 7 - 1824 mm.
- Station 8 - 2128 mm.
- Station 9 - 2432 mm.
- Station 10 - 2736 mm.
- Station 11 - 3040 mm.
- Station 12 - 3333 mm.

Two photos of the Cole Mouldie scow taken in Jim French's boat shop. The hulls were painstakingly molded out of 1/32" veneer and thousands of staples.

2178 now identified as Jeka D Stewart from Balmoral, a strong Moth club in the Middle Harbour section of Sydney Harbour, Australia. The reference is an Interclub race entry sheet from 1966(ish) provided by John Bowen of 2412 Zero.
